Lakers Will Hand Out Five Bobbleheads and a 2020 Ring Replica

Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves and three figures from the franchise's past get bobbleheads; one night gives out a Lakers-Dodgers jersey.

Seven Los Angeles Lakers home games next season come with something free at the gate, and five of those somethings are bobbleheads. The first giveaway is Nov. 1, 2026 and the last is March 17, 2027. The Lakers site Silver Screen and Roll reported the schedule on September 11, 2026.

That makes the freebies a ticket decision. Fans who want the Luka Dončić scoring-champion bobblehead are buying for Nov. 1; fans who want the replica championship ring are buying for Jan. 24. The nights don't trade.

The four dates this calendar year:

• Nov. 1, 2026 — Luka Dončić scoring champion bobblehead
• Nov. 17, 2026 — Lakers-Dodgers baseball-style jersey
• Dec. 14, 2026 — Norm Nixon bobblehead
• Dec. 27, 2026 — Austin Reaves bobblehead

And the three after New Year's:

• Jan. 14, 2027 — Paul Westhead bobblehead
• Jan. 24, 2027 — replica of the 2020 championship ring
• March 17, 2027 — Kurt Rambis bobblehead

Seven is a change of habit. The team hasn't run many giveaway nights in recent seasons, Jacob Rude of Silver Screen and Roll wrote, which is part of why he bothered ranking these.

He put the ring replica first and the Dončić bobblehead second. The Reaves bobblehead came third. Nixon landed last and Westhead sixth, two honorees from the seasons just before the Showtime teams took over, and Rude's case for both was the same one: it's good that the franchise is remembering the years nobody puts on a banner.

Rambis came fifth on the strength of the eyewear. "You can't tell me that a bobblehead with those goggles won't look extremely funny," Rude wrote.

The ring night doubles as a return. Anthony Davis is due back at Crypto.com Arena on Jan. 24, Rude wrote, with the caveat that he could be traded before then.

Not every promotional night comes with an item. The site also lists LGBTQ+ Pride Night, which the team stages during the preseason, and Mental Health Awareness Night. It reported separately on September 8, 2026 that a Phil Jackson statue is planned outside Crypto.com Arena. The unveiling is set for April 2027, near the end of the season.

First freebie up: the Dončić bobblehead, Nov. 1, 2026.
